Been through the mountains and must say its v/nice,must go back soon as the kids would love it.
 
I dont know how Stonehenge got on the list!
Giants causway as Ben Johnston said worth seeing but not worth going to see - the antrim coast road and fair head are better.
and how did Glastonbury Tor not get on the list? I remember the first time I saw it the hairs on my neck stood up it was so staggeringly beautiful

Im sure that the view from the top of Snowden can be amazing but the times Ive been there it wasnt - I can see gray mist almost anywhere!
 
Snowdon would be great but they have a big train going up it and some sort of cafe complex with thousands of visitors going up every day. So some reporter prob goes up, gets wined and dined and puts in a good word. View is ok but marred by hundreds of visitors in their flip flops taking selfies.
 
Some really beautiful pictures, but I dont get the Stonehenge thingy, I think its gross :(..All the others though simply stunning
 
Seen some beautiful views in out of the way places, with nobody else around, and that's what makes the view, the serenity that goes with it. Wish I could afford a 4x4 Bimobil, and I would get even more remote.:ninja:

Yes, flat as a pancake, with some pidly rocks hanging about.
View of Bamburgh Castle from the north along the coast does it for me, esp. at sunset. Pity we can't camp up there any more (car park now has barriers).

If you ever visit Wiltshire, Avebury is better than Stonehenge.

Do you mean the fairly large car park at the foot of the rocks which looks up to the castle ? If so - where can visitors in MHs park if they want to pay to go inside the castle ?

No, the large car park is open and available to us during the day. There is a winding lane with parking, facing out to sea. This is the one with barriers.
 
Sorry 4 being cynical but this is modern advertising. Bottom of page survey sponsored by Samsung who are trying to get under the radar with best pictures taken are by Samsung Phones. Nice views but a credible version of made up fakery news / skewed opinion poll. It's really advertising Samsung camera phones NOT nice places.

Too common in this day and age. Dave Gorman has a funny sketch on this subliminal bolox.

Tin hat on :scared:

if you like unsympathetic 'reconstruction' and Stalinist architecture!

Dont get me wrong NG is certainly impressive but it could hardly be described as sympathetically restored
 
One of my favourite places/views is at Monsal Head overlooking Monsal Dale in Derbyshire, but as with all places that are stunningly beautiful, it gets 1000's of tourists passing through.
 
18 out of 20 for me, too expensive to take the van to Ireland whengettin to Europe is cheaper, and I don't fancy the spires of oxford, I see enough of them watching morse for all them years 😀
 
i have always maintained that Stonehenge would stand out more in the landscape and look a lot better at night if English Heritage would get their evening security guards to give the stones a couple of coats of white emulsion

May/30.05.07 - Hallin Fell/30.05.07-094.jpg can't tell you what happened on the other side of that summit cairn,but it's a very memorable occasion

Yeah, I've fished at Watendlath Mark.

I caught some Blue Trout there, I'd never heard of em before.
 
For me the best view and I consider my spiritual home, so much so when I expire my last where I would like my ashes spreading , Junction 4 m18 Doncaster North moto services.

Of course that was a poor joke, to me the best view ever and possibly the best memories as an 18 year old lad with a motorbike and tent, Hippies playing guitar around a fire, skinny dippin in the tarn, Latter years watching Mrs Murphy skin a lamb , placing the fleece on one orphaned. The gentle but fragrant wisp of smoke from the farmhouse, and unpasteurised proper creamy milk.

Seeing a badger for the first time, Morning breakfasts, a Cumberland sausage ring fighting off the farm owners hens too inquisitive them birds...Night time no light pollution for the first time really get to see and marvel at stars.

I give you Loughrigg Tarn.
